What does this sentence from bromopentane supposed to mean: "They are occasionally prepared as a more stereoselectivehalocarbon than chloropentanes."? --Smokefoot (talk) 14:52, 30 November 2023 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231130145200","author":"Smokefoot","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Smokefoot-20231130145200-Chem","replies":["c-Reconrabbit-20231130155300-Smokefoot-20231130145200"]}}-->
I wrote it in reference to part "4.5.6.7 Chlorination Versus Bromination" in the book cited, that bromination is more selective than chlorination. Looking at it now the section is much more general than I thought at first and what I wrote is extrapolating from what was said, but there still might be room to mention the stereochemistry of bromoalkanes compared to chloroalkanes (might not be useful in relation to bromopentane specifically though).

The statement and your explanation make little sense. Compounds are not selective. Reactions are. I'll remove the statement from bromopentane. That way you can reassess.

User:Michael D. Turnbull Thanks for your input. After going through the options available I've been trying out ChemDraw 22 for structure drawing. It has some pretty annoying quirks that I haven't worked out - making ionic charge brackets consistent, for one. I've put my first drawing up on barium sulfite. Is this up to par with what these should look like? Does BIOVIA have better options for aligning atoms and the drawing components?

I rarely draw inorganics, as my background is as a professional organic chemist. In BIOVIA draw you can enter a IUPAC name and it will usually give a reasonable drawing for simple inorganics. (Menu: Chemistry -> Generate structure from text -> IUPAC name.) I've just tried Barium sulfite and got a perfectly reasonable drawing that looks like Ba2+ with a counterion that's symmetrical with charges shown on two of the three oxygen atoms. I personally prefer that to diagrams with dotted bonds/resonance structures or massive brackets around simple components (except in polymers) but that's a matter of taste and your drawing is similar to the one for calcium sulfite so I certainly wouldn't complain about it.

The barium sulfite picture is fine (of course, it's incorrect in many ways for the specialist since naked dications don't exist and Ba-OH2 and Ba-OSO2 interactions are probably involved). But for this project, we indeed like to depict simple compounds showing polyatomic anions or polyatomic cations in the way you depict. The list of articles lacking images is complicated because so many legacy articles were and are written by kids who are barely chemically illiterate. Also many articles exist on poorly characterized inorganic materials. In terms of the organic compounds on the list, many appear to be drug candidates, some of which will remain obscure forever. Keep it up, you might find something big that is missing a drawing or an article .... those are the gems. --Smokefoot (talk) 15:04, 1 December 2023 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231201150400","author":"Smokefoot","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Smokefoot-20231201150400-Michael_D._Turnbull-20231201125200","replies":["c-Smokefoot-20231201151900-Smokefoot-20231201150400"]}}-->

I'll make the adjustment to tetrahedral arrangement when I can. Will do the same for calcium sulfite, which is what I referenced. There are still plenty of pages that are going to be tricky to find appropriate images for like fish oil (medical use) or magnesium (medical use); the chembox in these isn't exactly providing the same information.

Now I'm stuck on this again. Is the ideal structure we're looking for one that shows the tetrahedral structure in the manner that sodium sulfate does? Or should the brackets be omitted altogether? I'll do my best to make a compromise with the newly updated image for barium sulfite, and use the same method for sodium sulfite and calcium sulfite if acceptable.

I quite like the current sodium sulfate picture. It uses a simple 2Na+ for the sodium, where there's no shape to show, while giving the correct shape for the sulphate and, given it is using dotted bonds and therefore the negative charge is delocalised over all four oxygens, it places that inside a bracket with the charge outside. I definitely dislikesodium sulfite as presently shown, since 1) it reverses the drawing (i.e. would be "sulphite sodium") 2) it doesn't show the correct shape for the sulfite and 3) it puts sodium into a bracket that doesn't help comprehension. All that said, total consistency is almost impossible and your offer to help would, IMO be best spent making new drawings for the compounds that currently don't have one.

I've been trying to limit my sources to books that have specific chapters on what I reference and review articles. I did have trouble getting more than just the second reference on silver halide though I know it should have a broader pool to draw from somewhere. I just removed several primary sources I added to 1,4-Butanedithiol per this.
My bad on nitrosyl perchlorate - I should have realized it wasn't accurate by the fact that it didn't even include a triple bond, but was going off of the only reference image I had available from PubChem.

The NOClO4 drawing was perfectly reasonable for 99.99% of people, so no shame there. And the most important thing: you recognize that O-N=O angle would be bent!
Most of the articles that might be suitable for people learning chemistry would be difficult to expand upon because someone with a PhD has already scrutinized them. At least that is my impression. The articles that are very, very thin are often super obscure and not worth much effort. Even experienced editors are dedicating their efforts to obscure rare earth and actinide compounds because they have run out of topics.
BTW, I do cite primary refs even if I rant against others for doing so.I seek refs that describe the structure of the compound or the primary ref is highly cited (checking citation rates is useful). If a Wiki article is notable but has almost no refs, Chemical Abstracts, Google Scholar, or Web of Science can be helpful. --Smokefoot (talk) 01:30, 6 December 2023 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231206013000","author":"Smokefoot","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Smokefoot-20231206013000-Smokefoot-20231205204000","replies":[]}}-->

We're everywhere, some just aren't as open with it.
By the way, I read your Draft:Francon snow depot. I think you could write a more comprehensive article if you wrote about the Francon quarry in general, since it does not have an article already and is the subject of ongoing discussion for several decades.

Hello, I did a search and found information relevant to this passage in a secondary source (Cambridge World History of Food).

I removed the cn (in error), then later after researching it removed the statement about French settlers and changed it to reflect only what was stated about commercial cultivation from the WGU source.

There must be a bug where the system does not catch this situation. Still, it would only have happened if you opened an edit window before me, but took longer to delete one character than I did to open the article and rewrite a whole sentence. Just nuke the warning if you want.

It just occurred to me it might have happened because I went to fix the typo and realized I could not publish without disabling my VPN, so I hit the "back" button a few times which means I was editing an "old revision" at the time. I did make a series of stupid errors, so I kind of deserve it.

And my apologies. I wasn't aware that type of race condition error could happen.
